Clocked Video Input II vid_datavalid width is 1 regardless of pixels in parallel parameter

Hi, I'm feeding oversampled video into CVI II IP and trying to make it only read every Nth pixel. There seems to be vid_datavalid signal for exactly this purpose, but its width does not get expand...

Hi marqs_ic,

Apologize for the delayed response.

May I confirm that the video format you are using is of embedded synchronization or separate synchronization?

Based on the Video and Image Processing Suite User Guide, vid_de is for separate synchronization mode only.

You may refer below link for more information:

Thank you for your patience.

Best Regards,

Yes, I'm using separate synchronization mode.

For now I managed to work around the issue by using a FIFO to store valid samples and reading N samples at once (equivalent to pixels in parallel). When there are are less than N samples in FIFO, read is not done and VIP vid_datavalid bit is deasserted for that cycle. It would be still good if vid_datavalid width matched "pixels in parallel" which feels like how the IP is supposed to work.
